Mamie, they're moving in?


Hey DG, so when are you gonna tell me all the wonderful things that people said about me, on your trip? :-P

Shamey - I know it's hard to believe, but I chose to play only with people who didn't talk about the board.

But, there was some talk about some crazy woman in Florida, if that rings any bells

Honestly, with VERY few exceptions, all the time with people was blessedly free of this topic - it's usually covered enough here!

But also in all honesty, our mutual friends have always had nothing but wonderful things to say about you

I know

But it really IS wonderful to spend time and realize that the connections reach beyond these parameters.

It looks like that may happen, shamey. My youngest sister and her 3 kids. Her husband has advanced bone cancer and is in critical condition. She can't survive on the little she makes and they're so young that he has no retirement or survivor benefit to count on. So..... it looks like I will soon have a family. It would have been nice if it had come when I was young enough to handle it but now is a challenge. (Still nothing compared to what she's going through!)

Morning all!


Mamie - YIPES! Does this mean you'll have to move to a larger space? I can't see 4 more people hunkering down with you now.

Morning all.


Mamie your sister is incredibly fortunate to have you. You and your sister's family are in my thoughts.

Goodmorning - Taking advantage of a moment on the computer to check in with friends.

Mamie - so sorry about your sister's husband. One of my favorite sayings that I have learned in my own life is "I thought I had problems until I REALLY had problems and now everything seems unimportant by comparison". This is one of those situations.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Oh - you guys are too sweet.

Just pray the folks at the credit union will be willing to float me a large loan to take care of all the immediate stuff. I've been using cc's WAY too much for all this stuff and I'm spending as much on interest now as I am on the principal. I'd much rather see that go to the credit union folks than the Visa folks. If they're willing to do that then it'll leave me with just enough to hopefully move. You know the physical act of moving is tough AND expensive when you've lived in the same place for 20 years! I remember when it used to be that all you needed to do was throw a pizza and beer party for your friends. You'd rent a U-haul and they did the moving for you. Now my friends are all REALLY OLD and have a hard time doing anything. I have no idea how they got that way - considering that I'm just as young as I ever was!

I just KNEW that Bonnie Franklin had all the answers!

And thanks, Boobs

SOMMS - are you suggesting that all I need to get is a shovel?

It certainly can help around HERE, on occasion
